pOn Saturday, April 17th, the weekend before a href=http://sf2010.drupal.org/ rel=nofollowDrupalCon San Francisco/a, I'm helping to organize the very first a href=http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/core-developer-summit rel=nofollowDrupal core developer summit/a. The goal of the Drupal core developer summit is to talk about ways we can improve Drupal core, and the core development processes, all while having a good time socializing with fellow core developers. Meeting in person for a full day and having more focused time to brainstorm about just core, should be really valuable. We can come up with plans to get Drupal 7 released, and we can get initial alignment on Drupal 8./p pTo make it lively and fun, we'll do a series of 10 minute a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Talk rel=nofollowlightning talks/a. In addition to the lightning talks, we'll have a number of meatier discussions and breakout sessions in smaller groups. The lightning talks will take the format: How to make X more awesome? where X can be anything in Drupal core. The idea behind the lightning talks is to educate core contributors about problems that need to be fixed, to present foundations for solutions, and to bootstrap collaboration. The original plan was to have 16 lightning talks, but based on feedback, I'm now leaning towards more breakout sessions and fewer lightning talks. On Sunday, the day after the Drupal core developer summit, there will be a emcode lounge/em where longer breakout sessions can be held too. Suggestions welcome as we can still made adjustments.
